This invention relates to improvements in window devices,and the object of'these 1m-l provements are as follows; tof'supply an all metal window frame for a removable tiltable and adjustable Ventilating window,-the :frame having` means for discharging or draining outwardly krain orY moisture to pre-venten trance thereof into the buildingpto provide means for holding the tiltable Windowtin different positions of open adjustmentsg'to supply other means for stopping the window when fully openedto hold it releasably in that position; to furnish lrelea'sable fastening means for holding the windowvin its closed" position, and to supply a channeled metal casing for the peripheral edge of the window pane employed as said window.y Other improvements willbe hereinaftershown anddescribed.

The'inventionis described and claimedffas follows, and illustrated by the accompanying drawing, wherein Fig. 1 is an elevation of the front face of the vassembled window frame and window with accessories, showing the window fully closed andreleasably. secured in thatposition, with parts broken away.` Fig.l 2 is a medial vertical cross ysection thereof with window opened. Fig. Bisv a top plan" thereof, with parts inhorizonta'l section, and

This invention is not restricted to the pre-v 35 cise construction and arrangement of parts herein shown and described,- nor to the various details thereof, as the same may be modilied or rearranged invariousparticulars without departing from the spirit and scopefofthe 40 invention, one practical embodimentof which has been herein` illustrated and.- described without attempting to show all` of the various forms and modifications in which the invention might be embodied. f

Y Thisinvention maybe applied .for vuse toY any' housing structure, but as shown herein, is particularly appropriated for such buildings',

as barns, animal and poultry houses or thel provided to lit over a projection 9 on'a sleeve like; n In this invention'the glass single :pane win-` to said window, bein@4 dow 15 `ofrectangular shape has its periph eral edge covered and protected by an -inwardly channeled metal casing 14. This takes up wear and jar to save the margin of the rfrom breakage by knocks or abrasions while being mounted or'adjusted in position Vin openingor closing it relative Ato its housing or window frame. The latter consists of an all metal hollow frame to conform g of angular section, of ,whichv a liange part 1 therearound in one Y planeV contacts with the outer face of a building structure, as shown at 8 in Fig. 2, the inwardly directed part or flange 2 whereof 1s fitted in a rectangular opening infsaid building to extend therebeyond, and having thisv extendingmart crimpedl at 6 at the top and sides to have'the crimp opened outwardly.

The lower part or sill'of the flange 2 has araised margin 5 closedatthe ends and which constitutes a channel or troughed seat or bearing for the lower edge of the window casing 14 (see Fig. 2). The window 15 may therefore `be swung open from said window frame, and when shut its casing 14 litssnugly against the frame part 6 sealingly, so that rain,-moisture or dust are prevented from seeping into or entering the building', and' such moisture'drains outwardlyover the sill 2without said window.

The numeral 11 denotes a pair of triangu-V lar side wings or walls having flanges along rearl and forward edges at 11 and 13, the

word forward indicating the Window and' its framing as'viewed from within the building' 3. Along the upper edge of each wing 11 a part 12. of triangular shape projects to-v wards the like part on the other wing and has at the rear a depending part or flange 12l interrupted byA a rectangular notch 12a. Each wing` 11 is assembled with the window frame in the following manner. vertical flange 11 is slipped downwardly into the open crimp of. sideelement 6 and until the depending flange 12 is seated ',(se'e The rear Figr) ina cutaway space indicated at 10 l rin the adjacent-end of the top crimp or fold ofthe frame 1 and 2. .""lhefnotch'lais The sleeve 7 has a rod 16 traversing it to have projecting terminations bent into cranks 17. As shown in Fig. 1, when the window is closed, these cranks can be rocked downwardly, to clamp the upper end of the window against the frame tightly. The middle part of the sleeve 7 has a projection 8 overlapping the frame part 2 and secured thereto. This middle part of the sleeve has a portion out away to seat a sleeve part 18 of a forwardly projecting arm 20 on the rod 16, rockingly. The arm 20 has a plurality of downwardly opening crimps 21 (see Fig. 2), a terminal upward bend at 22, and aloop 23 is fastened on said terminal including a looped weight 24 secured therein. A finger- I piece 19 is fastenedon the middle of the casing 14 at the top of the window, for convenience in pulling or tilting the window 15 open, when the clai'nping cranks 17 are rocked to releasing position. W hen the window 1 5 is opened, it may be held releasably in an adjusted tilted position, by dropping the arm 2O to seat the upper casing part 14 within one of the rcrimps 21.

The numeral 11 denotes the side wings above referred to, and when the window 15 is tilted forwardly to its full extent it engages the flanges 13 which are ofl double thickness by folding, and is stopped thereby, the arm bend at 22 then being swung down to engage the window casing 14C, thus locking` the window in its opened position, releasably. rl'he wings 11 therefore serve not [only to support the window in this position, but also act as side walls which with the window deflect entering air into an upwardly moving current into the building 3, for proper ventilation and air circulation therein. Bars 4 are fastened on the inner face ofthe wall 3 to embrace the top and sides of the frame part 2 and at the sides the wings `11 as stops for both upon said wall.

This type of window and framing, with accessories, is particularly adapted for use inv animal housing, the construction being all metal except the glass pane 15 (which may be of other material if desired), and hence is cheap, economical, light, easily assembled and disassembled for storage, or transportation. The arm 20 is kept inY place against the window by the weight 24, against accidental displacements, and when the window is closed, the arm with its weight, drops and assists in fastening the window.

Having-described this invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is:

.1. window device, comprising in combmation, an apertured wall, an apertured window frame, the said frame fitting said aperture with outer flanges contactingsealingly the outer face of the wall therearound, an imperforate window fitting in Sad frame` to swing from the bottom away from the frame, means movably connected to said frame engageable with the window releasably to hold it in differently adjusted open positions, side wings detachably mounted on the sides of the frame slidingly at opposite sides of the window and side and top bars secured on said wall as stops thereon for said wings and said frame respectively.
